    🔗 Take the PILLAR PERSONALITY QUIZ Every January, women are sold a story of reinvention — New Year, New Me.

In this episode, we'll cover: 1) Why New Year Resolutions almost always fail  2) Why women should focus on foundations over lofty goals and the important distinction between the two. 3) How to filter goals through self-respect rather than shame 4) Why we should actually slow down in January and go against the sense of urgency and the "start over" mentality supported by society 5) Six strategies/foundations to employ this January that will actually work and lead to the outcomes you likely want.  DISCLAIMER: The content shared in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or practitioners and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.

    The Hidden Physiological Cost of the Holiday Season (And What Actually Helps) (Episode #25)

    🔗 Take the PILLAR PERSONALITY QUIZ The holidays often bring joy and celebration — but they can also quietly push our bodies out of balance. In this episode, Jess shares a personal look at how weeks of disrupted routines, travel, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, and emotional load eventually showed up for her as anxiety — not all at once, but cumulatively. Rather than framing this as a failure of discipline or willpower, Jess explains how the body responds to patterns, not isolated events — and how symptoms are often the body’s way of communicating a need for support. In this episode, you’ll learn what your body is actually responding to during the holidays, why common symptoms like anxiety, irritability, cravings, and poor sleep appear, and what your body is truly asking for — without restriction, guilt, or punishment. In This Episode, We Cover: Why anxiety often builds slowly and feels “cumulative”How disrupted sleep, travel, food timing, and emotional load impact the bodyHow mineral depletion and hydration affect the nervous systemWhy sleep support matters more than sleep perfection during the holidaysThe physiological importance of genuine connection and oxytocinA compassionate, physiology-based way to support your body during and after the holidaysDISCLAIMER: The content shared in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or practitioners and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.
